“Skottie Young’s name on a book means I buy it. He’s pretty much the most interesting creator around at the moment." —Mark Millar

“I’ve read a lot of comics in my life, but few of them hit me in the heart as much as Middlewest. We all know Skottie Young is a visionary artist, but Middlewest marks his emergence as a wonderful writer as well. It’s heartfelt and gorgeously drawn. I’m in for the long haul. It feels like a long lost cousin to Sweet Tooth and Essex County.” —Jeff Lemire

"I was sucked in from page one and couldn't put it down." —Mark Waid
